Before Logic

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between logic and philosophical inquiry, this book argues that historical choices and contexts shape our understanding of logic rather than the other way around. It examines critical case studies related to logical possibility, truth, necessity, and essentialism, emphasizing that logic cannot serve as the foundation for metaphysics due to the weight of prior assumptions. This perspective challenges traditional views and engages with contemporary debates in analytical and continental philosophy, particularly in the context of post-Wittgensteinian and post-Heideggerian thought.
